This was a very unsatisfying answer.
- evan_ 8y agoI think it goes with the photo of 10-15 guys standing around a reflow oven at the foot of some narrow stairs.
- exsfethrowaway 8y agoPretty much. Source: I'm one of the guys in the picture. The stairs are actually wider than the picture makes it look (wide enough to have people on both side of the oven while carrying it). The tricky part was the corner: the oven was long enough that it had to hang out in the air over the corner as we brought it around. I recall that meant lifting it to shoulder height to clear the railing.
- StavrosK 8y agoThat's how you get a reflow oven stuck impossibly in the corner, when the door frame you used to rotate it mysteriously disappears.

- michaelmior 8y agoI understand it goes with the photo. But the photo doesn't really provide more of an explanation.
- dylan604 8y agoReminds me of the old SGI joke about how any SGI box that took less that 4 people to carry it was considered a desktop.
- Keyframe 8y agoOctane really challenges that notion! (my back still hurt)
